All about birds, and poems about them a good way to introduce birds to the classroom or when birds are a topic piece. ( )

This is a collection of bird poems and paintings. I like how Douglas Florian included some biology and wonderful pictures for all the bird verses. I love how the author includes biology and whimsy combine in verse and pictures. Florian's watercolors match the tone of the verse, bright and funny portraits of individual birds, combining accurate representations with visual pun For example, the roadrunner has wheels and the nightjar is shown flapping its wings inside a jar.

On the Wing is a book of poetry. Each poem is inspires by a different kind of bird. The poems are short and lighthearted, geared toward early readers. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that it was written for the child of the author.

This is a book of poems about various types of birds. This would be a great book to use in a classroom when teaching children about birds. Age 6-9 ( )
